Kagome smiled as she rounded one final turn in the maze of corridors leading down towards the pool area and gym. She was so happy her mother had allowed her to bring her friends from Sengoku Jidai to the beach house with her and the rest of her family. She paused at the gate to the public spa, and recalled the day it was all decided....

*flashback*

"Mama! I'm home!" called a happy Kagome, bursting in the door with her school bag over her shoulder. "I have to hurry and take a bath, I told Inuyasha I'd be back before sunset!"
"Well do me a favor, Kagome-chan." her mother called softly from the kitchen. Kagome made her way down the hallway and into the kitchen after slipping off her shoes near the door.
"Hai, Mama?" she inquired, and her mother turned away from her cooking to face her daughter.
"If you would like, ask Inu-chan and your other friends from the Feudal Era if they would like to come to the beach house with us next week. Because I'm sure Inuyasha would be unhappy if you were gone for two weeks, so maybe if you bring him with you..."
"Waaai! Arigatou wa, Mama!!" Kagome yelped, and threw her arms around her mother's neck. "I'll go ask them right away!" she darted off to go take a quick bath.

*end flashback*


Kagome spun once, and the towel she had draped over one arm twirled out to the side. Pausing with her back to the group, she ran to a railing, and clutched it, leaning over it and looking around the area.
The public water center, which included a pool, a Hot Tub, and a few other necessities, was completely empty, save for a few staff members. Kagome squinted.
"Wow, we even have the place to ourselves, guys!" she chirped, and whirled around the face the group again. Shippou was clinging lightly to Inuyasha's bare shoulder, and Sango was giving Miroku an evil glare. Inuyasha was simply staring at the ceiling like it was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen.
Kagome facefaulted.
Shippou shifted a bit, and looked at the ground as if he wanted to get off. Inuyasha glanced over his shoulder, and noticing the kogitsune's eagerness to get down, extended his arm out towards Kagome, allowing him to scurry across it to the girl. Afterwards, he rolled his eyes, and gave Kagome a bored glance.
"Oh, come on. be a bit more lively!" she giggled as Shippou crawled over her shoulders, and she hunched over a bit so he could move more freely.
Sango smiled, and stepped forward, now standing next to Inuyasha.
Kagome plucked Shippou from her shoulder and set him down, and he darted over to the railing, and clutched it tightly.
"Sugee!!!" he squealed, and turned to Kagome. "So where are we gonna go first!?" he asked eagerly.
Kagome smiled at the young demon, and looked at the others.
"Well...?"
Sango and Miroku exchanged glances, and Inuyasha huffed.
"Whichever you think is better, Kagome-chan." Sango said brightly. Inuyasha snorted.
" 'Kay, then let's hit the Hot Tub. Shippou, you lead the way. It's that funny blue-covered shape over there." she knelt down and pointed in the direction of the Hot Tub. Shippou nodded, and darted off.
Sango grabbed Miroku's wrist lightly, and followed the kitsune.
Kagome lingered a bit, and gave Inuyasha a playful glare.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha? Why so glum?" she asked, poking a finger on his collarbone. He huffed again.
"I don't know why you dragged me along on this stupid trip." he grumbled.
"I never said you had to come." she said, and turned around and started walking after the others.
Inuyasha folded one of his furry ears back a little, then started after her slowly.
